hehe, I like.

Brian will probably think I'm a nut for wanting these. And really, I don't want them. But I think they're fun! Now that I have a smart phone (thanks, work!) and it's cold out, I do find that trying to even answer a call is difficult with gloves on. You have to slide the bar across to answer the phone; not possible with slick cloth covering your fingers. Anyway, these seem like such a good idea!Stole this picture from here well really here (and you can read more about them, scroll down).

Luke 2:11-Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord!

11 Days to Christmas!

Christmas Cheer

A few fun pictures from a gingerbread house making get-together.  First is of all of us that made one.  I like how different they all looked.

Here’s mine, precariously perched on the edge of the table!  

 

I love Kristin’s.  She made a reindeer!!  And a stocking walkway and a snowman :-D
 
Kara’s turned out great once she was able to keep it from caving in.  I really liked her brick walls and sprinkle trees (they sort of blend in).

This is Ashley's.  I think it looks patriotic! :)

Lael’s was just impressive.  She’s had some GB decorating experience.  Her wreath with the bow is fantastic!
This is Sarah’s.  Kara’s neighbor.  I love her little car and snowman she made.

More pics of mine, I kind of liked my “wood pile with snow” :).
     

Today, I also got to paint some pottery with some friends.  It was a dreary day, but in the middle of painting God reminded us of his promise and faithfulness with a beautiful rainbow.  I could see the whole thing, from one end to the other, and it was brilliant.  The picture does not do it justice.
        

Luke 2:9--And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 

12 Days to Christmas!

A few things I like

Ok, bec, this one is for you. Short and sweet, but updated!

I've been in a mood of sorts lately. Here are a few blogs that have lifted my spirits and made me smile when I didn't really feel like it, or made me grateful for what I have, or that transported me from the humdrum of every day life into a place that felt nice.

Hope you enjoy as well :)
